Ian Kinsler, 2B, Los Angeles Angels

Price: $2,800

With only four games on tap tonight, it can be tough to find value, but the Los Angeles Angels' offense offers plenty of it. Their 4.83 implied total is the day's second-highest mark, and they have a great matchup against Kansas City Royals lefty Danny Duffy.

Duffy is on pace for a career-worst 4.99 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) this season, and his 39.5% hard-hit rate and 12.7% soft-hit rate are also both on track to be the worst marks of his career.

After a slow start to the year, Ian Kinsler has gone yard three times in his last six games, topping 12 FanDuel points in five of those six outings.

Production over a small sample isn't an especially strong indicator that there is more to come, but even before that stretch, there was reason for optimism. His 33.7% hard-hit rate and 47.2% fly-ball rate indicate plenty of potential for upside. He has also been very solid against southpaws over the last two years, with a 42.0% hard-hit rate, 50.3% fly-ball rate, .334 wOBA and .216 ISO in the split.
